Aside from some crazy real life stuff these past two weeks have been very interesting at school. I'm finding that I am not that mechanically inclined as I had hoped. Some of the basic concepts in the transmissions and torque converters seem to confuse the heck at me as I just sit at a moving diagram of how stuff works, not understanding how stuff works. It is making school extremely challenging for me. I love it.
Here I helped some of the guys take apart an axle from a 744 John Deere Loader. Pretty interesting stuff here. Turns out it 2950 lbs can really ding a concrete floor. What I learned these past couple of weeks that I consider to be the most valuable is this: if working on something heavy, have it as close to the ground as possible.
